HV's 82 D24 turbo build

I managed to wake up while the sun was still in full swing today, just in time to shoot a few videos of my brick.

Did a short sprint with the camera at the destination, and the ride home.... adobe is in the process of rendering, so itll be awhile till its live on youtube.

Nice movie!
I think the man on the road was a police-officer? In Holland i'm afraid the exhaust would have been a reason for letting you stop and have some trobbles with the police.......
That's the reason why i have a valve in the downpipe underneath the car , controlled by a handbrakelever of a Peugeot 205. So when i want i can close the valve and pass the police quiet.

You have done a nice thing modding the volvo this way.

yeah, it was an officer, employed by a church to stop traffic and allow those who attended church a free-flowing way out of the parking lot... he didnt really care much about what i was doing it looked like... and technically, its not illegal, since its a diesel and pre-2010 its emissions exempt.

"nothing to worry about, just a small electrical fire" now that was funny I was laughing out loud. The smoke rolling around in the car was just too much

I will take a look under the car next week with the camera.
While you're waiting i have a movie made by my son;

For his 19th birthday i made an air-operated system based upon a cilinderhead from a hyundai diesel.After my handbrake-lever operated valve i wanted something else for him......So i ordered a small compressor and grabbed some old stuff i collected over several years.
When i have a movie of the valve on my 245 i will open a new thread to keep this thread clean.

ive actually seen somebody make one of these out of an old gasser bolt-on throttle body... im sure if you got creative, you could use the car's vacuum pressure to open and close a pneumatic cylinder... not sure how strong the pressure is though.

here is the video I was looking for... they have some kind of do-it-yourself kit
